Come Join Palm Creek Tennis Club This Season!
Safety First - Seasonal Reminder
As we begin the new season of tennis this serves as a reminder that you need to wear your name tag with emergency information on the back. A phone number and name of contact person is a wise thing. Should an emergency occur at the courts immediately call 911 on your area phone or use the call box at the courts. Get the AED and go find the second AED while waiting for emergency assistance. Administer aid as needed until help arrives. Smart play dictates wise decisions when going for a ball.
